Natanya translating.

08.15 – 09.00. Little movement and one detainee whose ID was suspected of being forged. Cars carefully checked. Tens of parcels are taken off a van and checked by the Oketz Unit for 10 minutes at least.

Attention all those going to Hawarra. In a conversation with the DCO representative about the incident mentioned on the radio this morning by Carmela Menashe (about the soldier who had served in Nablus and reported his friends in the company who had stolen from Palestinians at the checkpoints….cigarettes and other small objects) he said that he was frustrated that such cases are never investigated by the DCO or Machsomwatch women. He thinks that such things happen mainly at the small checkpoints, Beit Furik and Awarta, which are far away and that obviously money is involved…

A perimeter checkpoint west of the city of Nablus. Operated from 2001 to 2009 as one of the four permanent checkpoints info-icon closing on Nablus: Beit Furik and Awarta to the east and Hawara to the south. A pedestrian-only checkpoint, where MachsomWatch volunteers were present daily for several hours in the morning and afternoon to document the thousands of Palestinians waiting for hours in long queues with no shelter in the heat or rain, to leave the district city for anywhere else in the West Bank.
From March 2009, as part of the easing of the Palestinian movement in the West Bank, it was abolished, without a trace, and without any adverse change in the security situation.
